Christian Pulisic scored his first career hat-trick – and didn’t realise he was supposed to take the match ball.
Pulisic’s treble helped Chelsea to a 4-2 win at Burnley and his team-mates had to tell him that custom meant he should take the match ball.[phone]

Pulisic admitted afterwards he didn’t take the ball because he had no idea he was supposed to.
“That’s exactly why. Honestly, I didn’t even think about it. My team-mates reminded me, so I got it in the end,” he said.
Pulisic endured a difficult start following his arrival from Borussia Dortmund but has been outstanding of late.
He made a big impact after coming on as a substitute against Newcastle and Ajax and was superb from the start against Burnley.
Pulisic told Sky Sports “The first few months were definitely hard. I had a few starts early in the season and then I fell out of it and I was trying to get any minutes that I could and just make an impact.
“Gladly in the last two weeks I was able to show that again – I was helping the team coming in in the Newcastle game and I think they saw that and gave me a start today.
“I didn’t think it was going to happen right away, being a big success. Coming into a club like this takes time so I’m happy with the progress I’ve made so far and I’m just going to keep going from here.”
